Milton boys win Rock County swim title

Milton High's boys swim team edged Janesville Craig to win the Rock County Championship on Thursday.

The Red Hawks finished with 564.5 points, while the Cougars were second with 552. Host Beloit Memorial was third with 548.5 and Janesville Parker was fourth with 436.

Craig's Peter Loftus and Parker's Sam Amundson won two events each. Amundson set a meet record in winning the 50 freestyle in 23.38, breaking the old mark of 23.45 set by Parker's Tommy Dvorak in 2011. Amundson, a junior, also won the 100 freestyle.

Loftus won the 500 freestyle and the 200 individual medley to lead the Cougars.

“It was a great meet,” Craig coach Brian Kitzman said. “The neat thing about it is that all of the teams competing are pretty evenly matched.

“We didn't swim at all yesterday, so it was a little tough to come back today, but the team battled and gave a good effort.”
